I've found a friend

Lyrics

1. I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! He loved me ere I knew Him; He drew me with the chord of love, And thus He bound me to Him. And ‘round my heart still closely twine Those ties which naught can sever, For I am His, and He is mine, Forever and forever.
2. I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! He bled; He died to save me; And not alone the gift of life, But His own self He gave me. Naught that I have my own I call, I hold it for the Giver, My heart my strength, My life my all, Are His and His forever.
3. I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! All power to Him is given; To guard me on my onward course, And bring me safe to heaven. The eternal glories gleam afar, To nerve my faint endeavor; So now to watch, to work, to war, And then to rest forever.
4. I’ve found a Friend, oh, such a Friend! So kind and true and tender, So wise a counselor and Guide, So mighty a defender! From Him, who loves me now so well, What power my soul can sever? Shall life or death, or earth or hell? Now I am His forever.
